  • How else should I arguing then? Over about twenty comments I tried to let you know that I am not interested in the chemistry system.. Or you still think that I wasn't patient enough? If I have to be honest, I feel that this whole comment war between us was a total waste of time..
  • I appreciate your persistence, but I'll say it for the last time.. With the chemistry system, you can't define physical characteristics on the basis of which we can fall in love with a person. In those pictures, maybe the blonde hair and the tanned skin which have more significant influence, but these two factors just in…
  • @crocobaura What you say is definitely true. This feature is not compatible with the chemistry system, but I've never said that I want to combine them together. I think that if the devs had believed so much in the effectiveness of the chemistry system, they would have used it in Sims3 and the 4. as well. But it didn't…
  • @crocobaura You cleverly forgot to copy the second part of my comment. But wait, I'll do it for you, and maybe you'll finally read it: "Actually the chemistry system wasn't a bad start, but it's only useful as far as the fetishes and tastes are concerned such as different hair styles, stockings etc. But since it can't take…
  • @fujicakes1 So it's my fault that I dare to think in the present and don't take into account what was the ideal, or will be in 10,000 years earlier or later. I'm sorry if this matters that much to you... :smiley: Anyway.. I won't hold you back, but it's not like that you added any useful idea to this discussion.
  • Probably there is no perfect solution. But even if a few people disagree, I still think that we need something that also places a great emphasis on the universal appeal. I don't want to dispute that the relative beauty as a concept exist, but I've already described this countless times not everyone has the same chances and…
  • You don't need to explain to me how the chemistry system works, because earlier I've used it for years. And if I say that it's blind and superficial to recognize anything related to the notion of beauty, then there is a good reason, believe me..
  • In response to your last sentence.... Ok, but then how does the attraction works according to your theory.. If you have black hair and blue eyes, I will swipe you right on Tinder? Honestly... Doesn't the chemistry system seems a bit superficial to you? Since when is it lifelike that a sim can be seduced by everyone who has…
  • At first I didn't intend to interfere in the argument between the two of you, but it's hard to remain impartial when you propose the opposite of that my whole discussion is about. Let's start with the fact that despite the most people have roughly the same idea about the beauty and ugliness, you categorically still state…
  • It seems I want pretty much the same thing as you in terms of attractiveness, although I'm not sure about that the difference between the attractive and unattractive people/sims can be categorized to the social differences as you saying. The correct words we look for is maybe the popular and unpopular. But as I said in…
  • Well, I don't want to criticize this game since it's one of my favorites, but if you think about it, the AI in the Sims hasn't been able to show much progress even since the Sims1. It's enough to look at the guests behavior. As soon you let them in, your household members are practically the last thing they care about.…
  • Mostly responding to @EnRoute 's comment I admit that you pushed me a little out of my comfort zone with this topic, but if I understand correctly, your "vision" is quite similar to that I've talked about here in my post. You essentially want to merge the social differences with the attraction system I suggested in this…
  • I really hope you're wrong and there's still a lot of content left, since the Sims 5 was promised to be released in 2026 ...at the earliest. But based on the activity of this forum, there is no sign this series will be finished in this year. Not to mention we can still find a few leaks to fill in this game, like a missing…
  • Yes, I have a guess which mod you mean, and it uses the chemistry. But as you confirmed the problem correctly, there is no way for the game to determine the real attractiveness e.g. by on facial structure, and unfortunately even the chemistry system can't do that, since it diagnoses the ideal just by hair, and eye color or…
  • Thanks for all the comments guys, and the effort to improve this discussion. To be honest I didn't expect such helpful ideas, and I appreciate everyone's input.
  • The NTR as a genre has actually always existed in all Sims, just the problem is that you have to create the whole event yourself. And that brings us to the root of the main problem. As @LoveInHarmony pointed out, the real weakness of The Sims is that the characters in the game are practically unviable without us. Their all…
  • The reality is obviously more complicated than the method I suggested here, on the other hand, we shouldn't forget that we already have limits in the artificial intelligence. You beautifully described to me how the human nature works, and how deep the chemistry between men and women. But you will never see this in a…
  • The starting point of the attraction should definitely be the appearance, and not things like personality. Everything starts with a first sight, and we all know the saying, the appearance catches you, the "inside" keeps you. But I recommend the system I mentioned here rather than the chemistry, since the execution of the…
  • Then I'm glad you didn't see the first version of that. It was quite a mess. But maybe it's still hard for those who aren't familiar in the topic.
  • > @LindaD2015 said: > I think that decreasing the amount of time it takes for sims to eat & drink would be very beneficial as well. This isn't the solution. I think the activities are enough short already.
  • > @BreakTheSilence said: > They could have add at least a horse race to the package where you can bet on the fastest horses, or you could even raise a racehorse yourself. But so far it seem more like another Cottage Living.. This reminds me of Kincsem the Hungarian wonder. I loved the movie too.
  • > @BreakTheSilence said: > I also find a day a bit short. Maybe 1 min in game should be increase to 4 real sec, or even more. Yeah, that's the only way. I've been waiting for this to change since the Sims2.. I just don't really understand what's so perfect for them in the current solution. For jumping the sleeping time we…
  • I'm aware of that I've already mentioned once in this discussion the speed of the time passage in the game, but I didn't write so extensively about the effect it has on the whole gameplay. Well, not only in the current game, but also in the previous Sims, it was obvious that certain activities such as preparing food then…
  • Ok nvm. For the seniors it's really possible as a hobby.
  • It's not like I'm obsessed with nature, and I'm also not into the Cottage Living, but it would be fun to see as the elderly or the kids feeding the pigeons and other birds in the park ...or the swans and ducks at the lakes. But correct me if these activities are already exist.
  • I think the same. Sulani is more like a jungle then a real beach.. I prefer the sight of the endless sand and sea, which gives a real feeling of freedom. But what bothers me yet in Sulani is that the daylight there is almost like a sunset.. Someone in another post said something about the world atmosphere, more precisely…
  • Building sandcastle, playing beach volleyball, and the presence of the pretty lifeguard women are basic conditions for a memorable vacation B)
  • I know that in this game the open world is over, but it's quite frustrating that if you just want to visit the neighbour's house next to you, the game starts loading anyway. The game turned back to that old mechanic that was already twenty years ago in the Sims2 period. It's also disturbing when you visit a public place,…
